Treat Yourself!

Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like there’s enough time in a day, a week, or even a month todo something special just for yourself. One of my struggles is taking the time to do something nice for myself. As I increase in age (thank goodness for that!), I’m learning to give myself a break. I mean, is the sky really going to fall if I don’t clean the bathroom today? Or will my neighbors raise their arms up in protest if I let my grass grow for one more day? Highly unlikely on both counts! I’ve discovered that a 15- or 30-minute indulgence can do me wonders!

Well, enough about me. Here’s what I’d like to know about you: If you could have a $10 gift card to spend on yourself, what type of gift card would you choose? Would you head to Starbucks, Bath & Body Works, Amazon.com, Ben & Jerry’s, or somewhere else? You tell me! And yes, this is today’s Question of the Day! Leave your answer right here on the blog—and who knows? Your wish could come true!

You are appreciated!

Diane
